Exit polls bring cheer for BJP

16/12/2017

The NewsX-CNX Exit Poll for the Gujarat Assembly Elections 2017 has delivered the most credible survey results for the much-anticipated assembly elections in the state. The BJP leaders were right in claiming that the traders may have been unhappy with the party over the issue opf demonetisation, but they would not ditch the Prime Minister.

With the Karnataka Assembly Elections around the corner, the increase in faith of the electorate in Congress may prove to be a headache that the BJP strategist Amit Shah may have to deal with, even as the party hopes to change the fortunes in the Congress-ruled state. While the Hindus in the state voted for the saffron party, the Muslims have shown their support for Congress by giving the party majority of the votes.

In second phase, the voter turnout till 2 pm stood at 47.40 per cent. According to ABP-CSDS survey, the BJP will win in south Gujarat with 21-27 seats and the Congress will get 9-13 seats.

"A victory for the BJP will be received well by the market while a surprise defeat (against the forecasts of the exit polls) would be a large negative surprise for the market". The Street is rooting for the ruling party as it would mean continuation of the reforms agenda. 'Himachal to go to BJP too' Exit polls on Thursday said the BJP would oust the Congress and regain power in Himachal Pradesh.

In the 2012 Assembly polls, the BJP had won 33 out of 53 seats from the region spread across seven districts.

Caste-based voting is ensuring the big win for the BJP, with the upper castes and classes - including the Brahmins, Kshatriyas, Rajputs, Baniyas, among others, contributing to the 50 per cent winning voting percentage. The three are seen as the safe seats for the BJP. The official results will be declared on Monday. There were 851candidates in the fray and around 2.23 crore voters.

It seems BJP's Prem Kumar Dhumal will take over the mantle from incumbent CM Vijay Rupani in Gujarat. The first phase on December 9 saw 66.75 per cent balloting from the Suarashtra- Kutch and southern regions of Gujarat.
